Debbie [e] I recently saw the tragic story about the accident that took the lives of the 3 young men on television on a show called "Snapped" on the Oxygen channel. I was horrified by what happend to the young men and that the woman who caused their deaths only got a short time in prison.I know nothing can bring them back but I do believe she should have had to pay for it alot longer than she did. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims. God Bless Monday, August 11th 2008 - 03:44:02 PM

PAMELA MORGAN QUINN [e] I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I DID NOT KNOW THESE THREE MEN BUT I KNOW THAT THEY WERE GREAT AS I HAVE LEARNED WHO THEY WERE ON COURTTV.COM AND LEARNED HOW THEY LIVED BY ALL THAT THERE FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FANS HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT ON ALL OF THE WEBSITES THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ABOUT THEM. TO ALL OF YOU, I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND YOU ALL MUST BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE "STARS" UP IN THE SKY THERE WITH ALL THE OTHER STARS AND EVERYTIME YOU SMILE KNOW THAT THEY ARE STILL LIVING THERE DREAM PLAYING MUSIC UP IN THE SKY CELEBRATING THE GREAT LIFE OF LOVE THEY SHARED WITH EACH OF YOU. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU ALL. Wednesday, November 28th 2007 - 10:59:45 AM

Gary W. Davis [e] [h] Such a tragedy can never be fully explained or even marginally understood. Three talented, giving, vibrant lives lost in such a meaningless manner. For those of us who leave behind the parts of ourselves we gave to others while living, we are blessed by such an opportunity. For those left behind to share in these gifts, you also should consider the blessings of having these "living" memories to comfort you. Tuesday, October 30th 2007 - 05:40:15 PM

joesepi i miss you guys. i think about you almost every day. Wednesday, February 7th 2007 - 10:39:51 AM

Robert I like you Michael. I hope you are pure in peace. Monday, January 15th 2007 - 07:11:32 PM

Lisa [e] I've been thinking so much over the holidays of Becky and of the families who have lost John, Doug and Michael. I wish love and comfort to each of you, and happiness in the memories of these guys. love, Lisa Thursday, December 29th 2005 - 11:27:28 AM

Shannon Distel [e] When I read the newspaper coverage about the crash, I dropped to the floor in a Chicago Jewel Store, shocked and with no feeling other than total sorrow. John was a mentor to my son when he worked as a teacher at Chiaravalle Montessori School in Evanston. My son Alec idiolized him and I left him in John's care every morning knowing my son had a strong and special mentor to guide him. Thank you John. To John's wife, our hearts fill with compassion and strength for you. And for John-you will never be forgotten. May those left behind find peace. Tuesday, November 15th 2005 - 01:33:58 PM

jord'n [e] [h] Some of my favorite memories of living in Green Bay a decade ago was seeing Fez Petting Zoo play. Now sitting in my apartment a few thousand miles away blasting "All Systems Gone" it seems farther away than ever. I'm glad that Rev Norb wrote his article for this month's Razorcake. Friday, October 21st 2005 - 10:00:03 PM

Stuart Dahlquist [e] 21.10.2005- Its good reading everything from everybody yet still I think, no, I'm sure Michael will be walking around the next corner. Friday, October 21st 2005 - 06:52:41 AM

Leah Bobal [e] Visited before, but wanted to sign now. Great site. Just saw the Returnables site...sigh...John indeed was one of the greats. Love, Leah Friday, October 14th 2005 - 03:44:11 PM

Adam Metz [e] [h] I wrote Becky an email about one month ago, and not a day goes by that I don't think of her, John and Michael. (I never had the pleasure of knowing Doug). John - so many memories - I was seven years younger than you - always bugged you at the record store, called you on the phone for advice about my band - I even always wanted to ask you how you were so lucky to find a girl so much like you, who was as into the music as you were. Thanks for all the advice about playing music, John Norb's post cracks me up...I hope you think it's funny too. You and I saw Chicago through the same eyes, and the same vibe in many of the same songs. I'm so sorry I didn't get back in touch in the last few years. You have taught me a valuable lesson about caring for people that I value. I pray that in some other way, in some other place, you and your beloved can be together always. I'm dedicating my first novel to your memory in hopes that you will know some of the artistic spirit you have inspired in me. Michael - The few times we met were fun and funny. We had a great time talking at my barbeque in '97 - you played Madison, and nobody came because I put on a Sleater-Kinney show earlier that night (that Becky's band opened for), but your performance was one of the most real and genuine I have ever seen. I imagined your band as total "rock stars," and you turned out to be one of the nicest people I have ever met. I still listen to Developer about once every three days. You were a brilliant and inspired musician. Wednesday, August 31st 2005 - 01:25:02 AM

Tracy Miller [e] Hello again. There is a column in today's Sun-Times by Richard Roeper on page 11. It is about how the media is treating this case. Worth reading. Wednesday, August 24th 2005 - 06:22:28 PM

kimmielou murray-hogan [e] I've worked at the Beat Kitchen for about fourteen years.That's along time.I've seen and heard many people during my time there.I can honestly say that by far,the happiest faces I saw there were on the night of Becky and JOhns' wedding party.The room generated fun,happiness,and most of all love. I am deeply sorry for the loss of these fabulous men.And my heart goes out to all of their families and friends. The entire Beat Kitchen sends their love as well,and if the club can do anything to help,please don't hesitate to call us. Wednesday, August 24th 2005 - 03:27:05 PM

TracyMiller [e] Thanks to Ryan who wrote into The Sun-Times and gave this web address. I didn't like their story or the picture on the front page. My heart goes out to all friends and family of these three friends. This is a touching website. Wednesday, August 24th 2005 - 12:40:52 PM

Danielle Theresha Catapano [e] I remember John when he was at BBandN. I was five years younger than he was, we shared a love for creativity and music. I never dreamed he would die such a violent death. From what I remember he was handsome as a young lad and grew up to be a crooner and a rock and roll heart breaker. John, you are in my heart forever. Rock in peace. Tuesday, August 23rd 2005 - 12:01:06 PM

ginny rivers [e] The full impact of this tragedy hasn't hit me quite yet. It seems to be filtering in through odd moments remembrance, as though my mind knows it can't handle the scope of this horrific event. I keep feeling the presense of these 3 at work. I emailed Doug yesterday and then remembered he was taken away, murdered. I keep waiting for John to come running up to my desk like there was some important issue on a project that needed to be resolved, asking him what the problem was only to hear him answer "I just wanted to say 'Hi!'" I keep seeing Michael out of the corner of my eye passing my desk with a smile and a look like we just shared an inside joke. No, my mind still cannot process this loss. To Joe - Thank you so much for creating this area. Ginny Saturday, August 6th 2005 - 01:21:45 PM

Lisa [e] [h] I heard the news on July 16 and have thought so much of them every day since. I knew John and Becky for about 12 years, dating back from the 90's music scene in Madison, of which we are all family. I didn't have the honor of knowing Doug and Michael, though I saw the Dials play here in MArch and was astounded at the mighty drumming of Doug. He blew me away; I wish I'd told him so. I got the know the Glickfords through the music family and have them in my heart because of the wonderful, warm people they are and were. John exuded goodness, genuineness and funnyness. I think of 12 years of bit scenarios, funny and sweet conversations with him, yard sales and rock shows. I felt so happy when they got married. I think of so much. What happened was so fucking wrong for so many reasons, but John has honestly gifted me with a better life for having known him. Becky, my heart is with you. LOve to all who knew and loved these wonderful three; keep that love moving in their honor. so sincerely, Lisa Friday, August 5th 2005 - 10:45:48 PM

Rob Bob [e] Yitgadal V'yitkadash Shemay Raba... To Becky and all of John's family, please accept my condolences; I am sorry for your loss, and hold faith that John is safe with Hashem. John, I am sorry, friend. So many years have lapsed since we last shared experiences together. We met in Madison, 1990. We partied in 202 Sellery B. Lucas spun "The Lyres" until the disc died. I'll never forget the way you and James played The Rathskeller as Fez Petting Zoo - I remember when you guys invented Fez Petting Zoo. I remember moving in to your apartment just off State Street, the semester after you moved out, following the summer of 1991. I sort of remember the summer of 1991. I sort of remember a lot of things we did in 1990 and 1991. How about the Neil Young show in Milwaukee during the war? Or the first student movie you made in Madison, do you remember? Adam and Karma and Rick and Chie and everyone else sittin' around in the dorms-turned-Greenwich-Village, snappin' our fingers as we smoked hand-rolled cigarettes, Rick poundin' out rhythms on the bongos, each of us all in black, as you read the opening verses of Howl, and the dope kicked in. Or the scene with you, greaser-savant, kicking the shit out the vending machine and flipping off the camera. Or the purple-hazy scene with a bunch of White Rabbit hippies silhouetted upon the metaphoric blacklight backdrop of a transcendental bong... Yeah, I remember... Yeah, well, they were times, weren't they? Peace, Love, and Happiness, John. B'Shalom, Rob H. (Please, if anyone has access to John's semi-autobiographical, Spring 1991 student film from Madison, please post it or send me an e-mail; to reminisce in this piece of John's work would be therapy for the vicissitudes of memory...) Wednesday, August 3rd 2005 - 12:12:55 PM

Chuck [e] I haven't seen John Glick in over 14 years, when we attended the UW Madison together. I will always fondly remember the Fez Petting Zoo, one of his first bands in Madison. John was outrageously talented even then, and it's an honor to have known him in this life. I will lift many a glass in John's memory in the times to come. We will all sorely miss you and Doug and Michael. Tuesday, August 2nd 2005 - 10:05:57 PM

Kerry My heart goes out to all of you today as you celebrate Michael's life with his family and friends on Whidbey Island. All of my Silkworm collection is gently piled next to my stereo. It's been on heavy rotation for the last seven days since I heard the terrible news. I just burned my 'ultimate' Silkworm mix (entitled Hell's Gate). I've also been closely following this message board, reading the beautiful remembrances posted by Steve, Tim, and others who knew Michael intimately. It's a grim pleasure to meditate on these fragments of a great life. Many of my favorite Michael moments happened right here on this message board. I always found it a thrill to read the thoughts of someone who was a bit of a star to me and relate to his journals and posts on an immediate level. I first came to know Michael through his terrifying, nearly nude drumming, and I put him and the rest of the 'worm on a bit of a pedestal in my mind. I'm also in a creative field of sorts, and I deeply admire the way SKWM has slowly but surely created a world in which they are able not only to make music the way the want to, but also that they hold so true to their musical ideals. So, I found it inspirational to interact with Michael on this site, via e-mail, and at shows, and find that he was human, only too happy to be himself, sharing his triumphs and struggles with more transparency than I might expect from my own brother. Without ever knowing it, Michael and the band gave me so much confidence that I could make my own dreams a reality if I lived by my principles, trusting the validity of my own voice. I will remember him as someone who flashed through life as though he was on the back of a Brahma bull. Like a burned out star, his light will be vivid in my sky for many years to come. My favorite musical contributions by Michael: Developer (song) Developer (album) Wild in My Day Insomnia Prayer to God Treat the New Guy Right (video) RIP Eulvatina Rats. Thanks for the memories. Love, Kerry... Sunday, July 31st 2005 - 11:12:02 AM

Emily [e] I am one of John's sisters and so grateful to you, Joe. These entries are wonderful to read. Heather, John's girlfriend in high school, wrote so accurately, but I had never heard the nightstand story. She was a dear friend and he called her "Heath Bar." I saved some of John's songs and art from when he was a kid, just because I always adored him. One was "Beehives and hearts." The two were stuck together in little yellow and red shapes. One song had the word "Donnachillyon" in it. Doug stayed at my home when the Puta-pons, and then the Dials, came to Boston. He was a phenomenal drummer, and the sweat flew off of him when he played. He was a sweetie-pie, and much fun to hang out with. He let me walk around on the stage before both shows, pretending I knew what I was doing. I talk to John every night, just in case he can hear me. My daughter says he can because, ya know, he's John. Thursday, July 28th 2005 - 04:50:25 PM

Todd Peden [e] Thursday, July 28th 2005 - 10:57:59 AM

Laurie [e] Believe in six degrees of separation. I was out at lunch today in Hanover, and sat at a table with a few pages of Boston Globe scattered about. There in front of me, John's obit, and my heart dropped. Cousin Bran, my hearts and prayers are with you and your dear friends. May you find peace. Wednesday, July 27th 2005 - 01:05:07 PM

dan smith [e] to sepi - thanks for doing this. its really a great place for people to share to heather (the post before me) - i know john from work (shure) and from being friends outside of work - your description is great... he fined tuned these skills to make himself even more amazing as he got older. all of these guys were magical, the type of people to have a lasting influence. I feel lucky that I got to know them. They all took advantage of time in order to experience more and enjoy every possible moment in their own unique way. I'll miss all of them. -Dan Tuesday, July 26th 2005 - 10:03:23 PM

Heather [e] I went to high school with John in Cambridge, MA. We dated for two years, then went our separate ways. I had no idea how many people loved him, but I am not surprised. He had so much spirit, he was such a live wire, with a crazy, offbeat sense of humor that somehow had a sweet, childlike quality. He was never on time for anything! He made up goofy names for things like his car ("The Two Thousand"). He turned his nightstand upside down and balanced his things on the upturned legs because he insisted that it was "art" first, and a nightstand second. He tried to hold dishes when he washed them so that he wouldn't get his hands wet. Is this the John you knew? That was a long time ago, but it seems like he went on to grow into something even more wonderful, better and better and more and more loved. And now this. My deepest, deepest sympathy to all of his friends and his family back home and here in Chicago, his wife Becky especially, Dr. and Mrs. Glick, Emily and Mark, Peter and Kirsten, and Katie. I search in my memory for the sound of John's voice, and I can hear it, but I don't hear words. I hear his laughter, and that's what I will remember. Heather Tuesday, July 26th 2005 - 07:15:00 PM

Rev. Nørb [e] I can imagine John, standing around a keg in Heaven, greeting new arrivals with remarks like "Yeah, I wanted to talk to Joey as soon as I got here, but the lines were too long...I got to talk to Chris Bell of Big Star, though!" What a shame. Tuesday, July 26th 2005 - 03:54:10 PM

gregory calvert sometimes life can be so unbelievably unjust. i never saw doug without a big smile on his face and it was always contagious. its been harder to smile since. my utmost condolences to everyone who knew these three. Monday, July 25th 2005 - 02:15:31 PM

chad wiggins [e] [h] The gravity of all of this is beginning to reveal itself, and I really miss these guys. Thanks for building this page, sepi, so I know I'm not alone. Monday, July 25th 2005 - 11:22:11 AM

J. Niimi [e] [h] John was definitely one of the nicest and most kind-hearted people I ever met in 15 years on the Chicago music scene. We'll miss him. Sunday, July 24th 2005 - 08:33:33 PM

rebecca weinstein [e] I am so deeply saddened about this god awful tradegy. My brother lost his best friend and two other dear friends. Becky, I feel so much for you and I'm sure anything anyone can say is inconsolable at this point. My brother tells me how much John, Doug and Michael are loved and what amazing people they were. They feel the same way about you. Sunday, July 24th 2005 - 06:45:56 PM

mia park [e] [h] joe joe joe, thanks so much for doing this. you're great & this is incredible. thanks so much for making it fun for us to celebrate their lives. there's lots to smile and cry about on this site. you rock. Sunday, July 24th 2005 - 10:48:09 AM

Mike Gilbert [e] I met John at my daughter's school. I came into the class and he was sitting with the kids around him playing a song and they were transfixed. Over the next months, I got to know John after school, I would show up and talk to him while the kids played and we would go over news, music, whatever. My daughter was in his class and she has been at camp the past couple weeks. I told her about John and her first thought was "Oh the guy who played the They Might Be Giants stuff for us"! OUr thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Sunday, July 24th 2005 - 01:11:59 AM

Billzebub [e] My deepest sympathies. I first saw the Returnables when they opened for The Dictators at the Empty Bottle, and I was hooked. Made it a point to see them whenever possible after that, and always include a track or two on any mix I make for friends. Saturday, July 23rd 2005 - 11:05:43 PM

myke adams I worked these guys of many times and will miss them dearly. My love and support goes out to all of their families and friends. Myke Adams Saturday, July 23rd 2005 - 03:07:07 PM

Matt [e] [h] I worked with all three at Shure. They always put a smile on my face. As I remember the last time I saw each of them I again realize that they were so wonderful and funny. And we were all fortunate to have basked in their glory, even if for too short a time. Saturday, July 23rd 2005 - 10:11:26 AM

Chris Holden [e] Former neighbor of John and Becky's, I knew he was very sweet, now I know how large a web of love he was part of, I'm devastated for all of those touched by the loss of these 3 friends going out for lunch Friday, July 22nd 2005 - 11:44:39 PM

Joe Sepi [h] I loved these guys with all my heart. Their presence was enlightening. I will miss them so. Friday, July 22nd 2005 - 04:14:32 PM
